Revival Newbie

Well I'm not telling the Mrs, she'll be gutted

Finally got my Hospitality info in the mail yesterday! Included with the tags for Sunday is a Forward Parking sticker that says Friday - Sunday. Is it possible to use it for our non-Hospitality days, or is that just rude? Also, it says the Swing Badge is our entry ticket. We already have physical tickets for Sunday, does that mean I now have 2 extra tickets for Sunday?

Getting really excited and having fun putting the finishing touches on our outfits. Not sure we'll look as vintage as I'd hoped, but we are putting in an effort!

Thanks, y'all!!

I popped into Goodwood today to watch some of the revival practice, absolutely glorious weather and some lovely cars being driven and to top it off one of the Goodwood Spitfires was out and about

Another practice session today and more fine weather predicted.

Parking is a bit tight though.

I'm heading over today, hopefully there's some space to park.

You'll have a fantastic time - it's a superbly atmospheric event. You have 3 days so my advice would be not to plan too much but just wander around and absorb the atmosphere and the people while covering the races that grab you (all are great!). There are multiple food outlets that are generally of pretty high quality (although some are relatively expensive) so I wouldn't overly worry about taking the kitchen sink with you. There's also a great vintage market and loads of interesting stalls as well as great music and static displays to break up the browsing.

Fingers crossed for the weather!

Re the food. There is a vintage style Tesco that stocks loads of sandwiches, gourmet ones as well as basic. Often on a 'meal deal' promotion where 1 sandwich, bag of crisps and a drink cost £3. I aim to get there first thing in the morning, then walk round to the start of the tractor rides which take you round the circuit.

Not this year. Tesco's contract has ended.

So the answer to this is PG Tips have the building along with Mr Wippy.

Yes tea and ice cream.

Thanks for finding out for us.
Perhaps the PG Tips chimps will make a return.

Do you mean BTCC?

Hi all, I'm going on the Friday only and wondered if people still dress up on the Friday or is it just the Sat & Sun? I see on the paddock passes and they state I need a jacket and tie? Is that truly the case? If so I would rather dress in an appropriate suit for the surroundings?

Indeed the vast majority dress up for the occasion and yes for the paddock you need a jacket and tie/cravat or suitable period clothing (mechanics overalls - however mechanics back then wore a shirt and tie from the images I've seen)

The rest of the paddocks are open to regular "joes" to wander around at will all weekend.

Except the GRRC Paddock which is adjacent to the infield GRRC enclosure.

Yes, Friday is just the same as Sat & Sun so no excuses for a lousy Ferrari anorak and baseball hat and yes you must dress appropriately for the paddock. ;-)

Weather forecast looks great 23 degrees all days, tailored shorts me thinks, will make up for a damp festival

[Ed Moses]

Could be linen and not tweed for next week!

I've got my tweed suit sorted, my mate (whos a big lad) was going to wear a shirt tie and waistcoat as he doesn't own a jacket, will he be able to get into the paddocks?

The dress code is normally well enforced.

Thanks, I'll leave him outside
